Careful. If you admit to using models that weren't trained by OpenAI or Anthropic then you might hauled in front of Congress: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3362…

I have a lot of problems with Aschenbrenner and the "Rationalist" community as a whole, but this is not a factually correct characterization of Effective Altruism.

This is what https://dctransparency.com/ai-firms-pour-record-money-into-w... buys you.

The genius who brought us AI 2027.

Yes. For example, third-party inference providers serve DeepSeek V4 Flash just as cheaply as DeepSeek themselves, if not even more so. This is very strong evidence that the low pri…

We can guess based on the decisions of other inference providers who serve these models.

I get that this is a nice benchmark in that the result can be judged visually, but it seems extraordinarily far from what people actually use these models for.

The message is a lot better than what Amodei and Altman are pushing at least.

Does it refuse to work on "cyber"?

Oracle routing is by definition not possible.

How so?

I don't think we should care about Jim Cramer's opinions, no matter what he's saying.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with "whataboutism" and it is in fact often illuminating.

OpenAI and Anthropic are both defense contractors. SpaceXAI too, obviously.

This little special military operation: https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-hormuz-strait-war-july-20...

It was the work itself. Embedded systems are already known for bad tooling. Once safety certification gets thrown in the mix you're limited to ancient broken versions of GCC that h…

Maybe I'm a control freak, but asking agents to one-shot random apps is nothing like how I actually use AI in software engineering.

The name conflicts with a somewhat obscure but very influential language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(programming_language) .

Hard real-time industrial automation. Worst job ever, by the way.

Exactly. I mentioned that those queues aren't formally obstruction-free because the context of the conversation was new developments in wait-free queues, even though I have only ne…

This was the very best bounded MPMC queue when I last looked into these things years ago, and as far as descendants of the Vyukov MPMC cycle queue go, I don't think it's possible t…

Both Vyukov queues are fast and useful in practice, but neither is even obstruction-free, let alone lock-free or wait-free.

I suspect the search space of low-complexity, or at least what I'd consider "low-complexity", wait-free queues is pretty much exhausted at this point.

The years keep on getting bigger, but these prediction timelines stopped being credible like 3 timelines ago.
